when this country is no longer the world's leading power, that the mullahs of dearborn, what they call michigan-istan want to say in the same polity as gambling of fire island. each might decide they're better off going alone. there is something more basic. take a retired federal bureaucrat in her early 50s, retired on fantastic unsustainable pension benefits and health benefits, and enjoying the early years of what is in effect a 30-year holiday weekend, she lives at 26 elm street. the guy at 24 he will misdemeanor street went exactly the same school as her. he doesn't get the 30-day holiday weekend. he has to go to work at hardware store until he drops dead to fund lavish retirement benefits of his neighbor and the retirement that he will never know. those two people can not coexist in the same street anymore than they can in athens or in london. another chasm, young versus old. what is left of american youth will be taxed to the hilt to pay for the retirement and medical care of a baby boom generation who enjoyed a life of american prosperity that their kids will never know. look at the flashmobs.

the chair recognizes the distinguished gentleman for michigan -- from michigan. >> like every other member of this committee, i am disappointed. we should get both sides of the story. i believe the witnesses today have much to tell us that is probably in their interests. their behavior is fully within the constitution. like everybody else, i have to support and protect those rights. they were widely given by a great man. having said this, i am hard put to believe there is wrongdoing on the department of energy's loan program office. i believe that fact has been documented over the course of three years and two administrations, republican and democratic. due diligence was done by the loan program office and by marketing consultants. i know how hard it is to get loans. i have had the support from constituents who had need of this kind of assistance. members of the subcommittee or a short earlier this year that the company was on track to success. there are concerns that we may have been given inaccurate information. i hope we could hear the solyndra story at some point. how many of my collea
